The hazard

On certain vehicles, the driver-front airbag inflator could rupture when the airbag deploys in a crash. If this happens, the airbag may not fully inflate and fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants.

An airbag inflator that ruptures can create a risk of injury or death.

What to do

Hyundai will notify owners in writing and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the driver-front airbag inflator.
